Drawing People: The Human Figure in Contemporary Art

"Drawing is one of the most direct forms of visual expression," Roger Malbert writes in his introduction to Drawing People: The Human Figure in Contemporary Art, this year's best survey of contemporary figurative drawing. "It’s where art begins, literally, both in human evolution and the development of the individual. Before writing, there are images, scratched onto a cave wall or scribbled in crayon on cheap paper. And among the first subjects, along with animals and the sun, is the human figure." Releasing this week, Drawing People, features an international roster of 70 artists working with pencil, ink, watercolor, charcoal and crayon. They include Francis Alÿs, Louise Bourgeois, Francesco Clemente, Marlene Dumas, Marcel Dzama, Dr. Lakra, Paul McCarthy, Barry McGee, Nalini Malani, Wangechi Mutu, Raymond Pettibon, Amy Sillman, Kara Walker and Elizabeth Peyton, whose drawing, "Klara (Klara Liden) 10 October 2009 Berlin," is featured here.
